airport hotel?

We%26#39;re flying into Jackson in June around 9pm with a toddler in tow (who will be very tired and grumpy). Are there any hotels at the airport? we were planning on picking up the hire car the next morning, so wanted something at the airport for the night. Any suggestions?

airport hotel?

nothing at the airport. it%26#39;s 8 miles to downtown jackson. in the past i%26#39;ve thought about taking a shuttle or taxi to town %26amp; picking the rental car up in the morning but by the time you pay for 2 way taxi/shuttle you can just get the car. there may be some hotels that offer complimentary shuttles. i know wagon wheel village does.

airport hotel?

Sorry, but Jackson has a very small airport without any lodging facilities.

Like the previous poster indicted, unlss you stay at a hotel that offers a free shuttle it might be cheaper to just get the car when you arrive and drive the 10 minutes into town yourself.

I can%26#39;t remember what the taxi fare was the last time I flew into Jackson, but I recall it being $15-$20 each way. WIth the cost of fuel I am sure this has gone up at least a bit since then.

My husband and I just returned from Jackson a few weeks ago. Let me paint the picture...

The airport as other posters has stated is Very small. You%26#39;ll depart the plan outside. The car rentals are in the parking lot across from the terminal - you can see them, making a rental pick up very easy.

Hotels in town are about 10-15minutes South of the airport and some of the nicer hotels will arrange for free airport pickup. Town is pretty small and you could walk to probably two or three hotels within a mile.

If looking for lux/nice accommodations nearby, try the Rusty Parrot. The Wort Hotel is more of a midrange that is also nice and in the central area of town.

If you can, I%26#39;d pick up the rental car that night. As others have said, the airport is very small. It is the only airport that is actually in a national park. The airport is very convenient, and you won%26#39;t wait huge amounts of time for the luggage like in the larger airports where we come from. If I remember correctly, I think the baggage claim and rental counters are within viewing distance of each other. Anyone who has travelled there recently: If this is not correct, please say so.

The drive to Jackson is very easy; do yourselves a favor and get the car when you land. It will save in the long run.

Drippy -- you made this Wyoming gal smile with your question. Jackson is a town of less than 10,000 people. Yes, it is a tourist area, but very, very, very small. Check to see if the car rental people will be open when you arrive. If they are, it won%26#39;t take long to get your car. If not, get a hotel with a shuttle -- that won%26#39;t take long, as you%26#39;ll let them know ahead of time that you%26#39;ll be on that flight %26amp; chances are they will just meet you.

There won%26#39;t be much walking or waiting, so things will go just fine. Just remember you are really moving up in altitude and your bodies will need a little time to adjust to less oxygen.

Thanks everyone. Think we%26#39;ll get the car as suggested. Now I just need to find accommodation! Looking like things are pretty busy in June already!
